Use Online Deals Before You Lose Them

The average price of an online deal from Groupon or LivingSocial increased to $29.60 in August, but an estimated 20 to 30 percent of vouchers still go unused. To keep track of your deals, sign up for Couptivate, an online service which imports all of your purchases, organizes them and sends you reminder emails to use them before they expire. Couptivate CEO David Magier stresses the importance of tracking coupons for spa and luxury services, because the convenient appointment slots can be quickly taken by other deal purchasers, often leaving none left during the weeks before the expiration date.
